On cloudy days, the sun intensity I (in calories per square centimeter) is given by I = I(max) sin^2 (pi t / D) where I(max) is the largest sun intensity and D is the number of daylight hours. If D = 12, how many hours after sunrise is intensity exactly half of the maximum level? (Assume t is in between zero and D)
